  -- In military terminology, a battalion consists of 
  -- two to six companies typically commanded by a lieutenant colonel. The 
  -- nomenclature varies by nationality and by branch of arms, e.g. some 
  -- armies organize their infantry into battalions, but call battalion_sized 
  -- cavalry, reconnaissance, or tank units a squadron or a regiment instead. 
  -- There may even be subtle distinctions within a nation's branches of arms, 
  -- such a distinction between a tank battalion and an armored squadron, 
  -- depending on how the unit's operational role is perceived to fit into the 
  -- army's historical organization. A battalion is potentially the smallest 
  -- military unit capable of independent operations (i.e. not attached to a 
  -- higher command), but is usually part of a regiment or a brigade or both, 
  -- depending on the organizational model used by that service. Battalions 
  -- are ordinarily homogeneous with respect to type (e.g. an infantry 
  -- battalion or a tank battalion), although there are occasional 
  -- exceptions. (from Wikipedia)

  -- In the United States military, a

  -- number of bachelor's and masters degrees held within the community, their 
  -- contribution and expertise as a community is ever_increasing. There are 
  -- no 'warrant officers' per se in the U.S. Navy, but rather the term 'chief 
  -- warrant officer' is correct. In the U.S. Navy, a sailor must be in one 
  -- of the top three enlisted ranks to be eligible to become a Chief Warrant 
  -- Officer. In the U.S. Army, a person can progress to the warrant officer 
  -- rank at a grade lower than E_7 thus having a longer career and greater 
  -- opportunity to serve and grow. In the U.S. Marine Corps, after serving 
  -- at least eight years of enlisted service, and reaching the grade of E_5 
  -- (sergeant), an enlisted Marine can apply for the Warrant Officer program. 
  -- Upon the initial appointment to WO1 a warrant is given by the secretary of 
  -- the service, and upon promotion to chief warrant officer (CW2 and above) 
  -- they are commissioned by the President of the United States, take the same 
  -- oath and receive the same commission and charges as commissioned officers,
